Fashionable from 1908 to 1920, the pipe-shape gave the wearer a slender and straight shape, a reaction to the earlier exaggerated shapes of the s-curve. The pipe-stem aimed for an overall straight look, as against the pipe-stem waist of the hourglass
corset.
Pipe-shaped corsets
With the late 1940s and early 1950s came the New Look created by Christian Dior and its hourglass figure. This saw a revival of the corset in the type of the waist cincher, but because of its high fashion nature, most females continued to make use of girdles. The revival was short-lived, the New Look giving way to less dramatic shapes.
In the coursework of the 1920s, the corset fell from favour, in America and Europe, to get replaced by girdles and elasticized brassieres. Initially regarded as lingerie, the corset is now regarded as outerwear amongst devotees of the fetish,
BDSM and goth subcultures.
Whilst plenty of corsets sold today may look like corsets, even featuring lacing and boning to imitate earlier style, they have small effect on the body. be assured that this is not the case with the genuine Vollers corsets that they stock.
The corset has experienced several periodic revivals since the 1980s, influenced by high fashion and trickling down to mainstream style. Seen as a pastiche of former ages, the corset has often become in this sense outer than underclothing. Notable was the revival of 2001, when the fashion collections of the day coincided with the release of the successful film Moulin Rouge! And its evocative use of corsetry. Kylie Minogue placed corsets firmly on the world stage when he wore on her 2005 tour.

Reviews:
I'm almost 4 months preg & I ordered a size L to accommodate my
growing baby bump. Normally I wear a size M, it was great to find
something I could still feel sexy in.
Amazing
I absolutely loved it. I'm 5'3, 130lbs with bra size of 34D. I
ordered a medium because everyone was saying it was running small, but I
wish I would have gotten the small. It still fits, but it could have
been just a little snugger.
Fits like a glove!!!! My
Fits like a glove!!!! My husband cant keep his hands off me!!!!
Great!
This product was shipped in a timely fashion and was a big hit with my boyfriend!
I originally ordered an XL because although short (5'2"), I am busty
(34DDD). Unlike most corsets, this one is flexible and has some stretch
too it, and as such I had to exchange it for a L and I might have been
able to go all the way down to a M. Regardless of my sizing issues I
love the quality of this corset and I can't wait until I get to show this off to my boyfriend when he gets back from deployment!
Awesome!
Great quality, fits good but a little big for my small boobies... I can't wait to try it out(;
Perfect Fit
this piece fits perfectly and the material is both elegant and
comfortable. Couldn't have asked for more for such a reasonable price!
